An admirable idea. However....
It's unclear from your email whether this is just for CS students or the wider university population at large. I'm assuming the latter. If it's the former then don't bother reading on and apologies for wasting your time....
I don't think anyone will mind if the wider univerisity population comes along, however they are primarily focussed at CS undergrads who are required to use linux for courses from second year onwards, yet often find it alien and confusing. As an example, it's really painful watching people type out long gcc commands every time they wish to compile a program. They don't know about make, or even about up arrow in bash! Perhaps you have a point regarding the ordering of the tutorials - maybe it is worth bringing the application one earlier on. However, we still have to cover at least the basics of bash, processes/security, a "typical" editor (we choose emacs, vi is a bit mean). We've had a request to include more information about GNU/OSS in general. And so on. Your comments are appreciated :) We are considering throwing in more content to pump linux up a bit to those who aren't familiar with it. Your other suggestions seem to fit fairly well with the general style of monthly meetings WLUG has anyway. The improvement in multimedia apps under linux in particular is probably worth doing a meeting on. Daniel
